There are two major differences between Europe and us. The first is that Europe has included under its umbrella countries from the former Soviet Union which had already achieved reductions. For example, East Germany had practically acquired half a billion tonnes, which enabled Germany passively to achieve part of its objective. The same is true of Hungary and the Baltic states.
Second, in Europe, every country has a differentiated target under that umbrella, as a result of which, overall, some countries will be able to increase, others decrease. That means that territorial responsibilities are being met and fairness is being achieved between the less developed countries of Europe and the more developed countries, that is to say those that have more trouble with renewable energies and those that have less trouble in that regard. This is an approach that Canada should have adopted from the outset, but about which the people in position at the time had political reservations. This is a subject I won't discuss here.
